Going with the momentum

Well, I was super successful last year in dropping 40 pounds. Then I decided to take a break over the Christmas holiday (the entire month), and I just couldn't get back into it like I was before. Then I started to go back to work, and that made most of my "me" time disappear. I have been spending lots of time contemplating my current situation, and I know I'm not happy with my weight (I'm happier than I was, but not satisfied yet), so I have to do something. Where could I find the time to exercise, and the energy and focus to stick to my diet?? I discovered that I like to do things that are hard and challenging, so I have committed to going to the gym after the kids go to bed at least 4 days a week, and sticking to my diet 90% I have shaped up my shopping habits, so I won't be tempted to bring home "snack" foods that turn into diet disasters (mini rice-cakes that are ok to eat a couple of handfulls of, but that I find myself eating by the bagfulls, etc.). I may not be thin by June, but I will be stronger and healthier than I was in January, and that's a great thing to work towards! Baby steps...
